About the Programme

Morphine is a frequently misunderstood medicine. Almost always associated with dying or even addiction, its ability to manage severe symptoms like pain and breathlessness to improve one’s quality of life is often overlooked. In this sharing, we will share lived examples and facts to address concerns surrounding morphine use in palliative care settings.
